Q: Should I be prepared to send my children #backtoschool in the fall? And what can I do to prepare if so?
A: We all want to say yes yes YES, but there are a number of considerations. More in this thread

While we keep schools closed to limit the spread of infection, some emerging data from China suggest that transmission from children may represent a lower proportion than previously thought: economist.com/international/…
Though more testing and data is needed to confirm this

There could be many benefits to reopening schools. Among important considerations: Parents can be more productive and we can level the playing ground for families may have fewer resources to continue home instruction.

1/n At @choosetothinq, been used to #workingfromhome but was NOT prepared to have the kid also ‘working’ from home. Classes on #Skype, school sends stuff to watch, forms/ sheets to upload. And only one laptop to pass around. Here's what I’ve been trying that you could too..
2/n A schedule. Circle time slots when the kids are SURE not to need your device. Evenings, mealtimes, early mornings, sleeptimes. Work uninterrupted during those. Start early & stay a step ahead. Make a timetable that includes their online classes / school work & work around it.
3/n Alternate devices for videos: Use phones, TV, casting devices rather than the laptop for videos. Connect your laptop to a projector / TV / another computer screen if your work allows for a bit of toggling. #kidsathome #WFHTips
Day 1 of family self-isolation has been profitable: that’s the teddies all sorted into size order... #KidsAmusingThemselves #workingFromHome #KidsAtHome @nickisapiro 
Day 2 of family self-isolation has been more academic in nature: the kids have (unprompted!) sorted their books into alphabetical order by the first letter of the author’s surname. I’ll teach them MHRA referencing tomorrow. #KidsAmusingThemselves #workingfromhome @nickisapiro
Day 3 of self-isolation has been more practice-led, with a focus on architecture and engineering. That’s just my take on things; the kids called it den building. #KidsAmusingThemselves #workingfromhome #KidsAtHome @nickisapiro
